Chapter 322: Li Xun's Transformation
The battle of light and shadow finally came to an end, and the bloody remnants were buried by the goddess of the night.
The starry sky is as if pure black velvet is sprinkled with diamonds.
"It's hot. Li Xun fanned his little face with his hand and looked at the vast sea of sand not far away: "I didn't expect that the summer on the grassland is no different from the south." ”
"After all, it's close to the desert. Wu Feng said: "But in fact, it is still not as good as the south." Your heart is no longer at peace, so it is hot. That's a good thing. ”
The full name of the desert is Garbai Hanhai, which is the dividing line of the grassland, dividing the vast grassland into the north and the south. In the Western Regions, there are even more expansive deserts.
"A good thing?" Li Xun wondered.
Wu Feng's halberd pointed at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, and the blood flowing in the deep grass slapped Li Xun's shoulder violently.
"On the grassland, the feeling of killing people is different from that of the Central Plains. Do you feel it? Under this boundless sky, when your sword cuts through the skin of your enemy, the blood burns with it!"
Li Xun couldn't fully understand Wu Feng's words.
But he quickly came to his senses.
Because he and Wu Feng had been invited to the herdsmen's camp, the bonfire was lit high, and the tongues of fire jumped happily, making the sound of peeling peck.
The herdsmen looked at Wu Feng and Li Xun with great gratitude, asking for their names.
"Tuoba Peak. Wu Feng said neatly. Tuoba is his mother's surname.
Li ...... Li Dongzhao. Li Xun thought about it and blurted out such a pseudonym that didn't sound very good.
"Thank you two for eliminating these vicious horse thieves for us!"
"The kindness of the two little heroes, our tribe will never forget! The glory of the Immortal Heaven will always bless you!"
The herdsmen are very simple, just keep bowing down and saying plain words of gratitude.
Wu Feng was very calm, and Li Xun was called a hero for the first time. A shy look appeared on his white face.
The fire filled the fire with the aroma of the sauce being burned, the best wine and meat were brought to the two men, and the herdsmen sang and danced to thank them for their kindness in killing the horse thief. The music of the horse-head qin sounded, and the vocal range was as deep and wide as the endless night sky.
Looking at the bright smiles of the herdsmen, Li Xun suddenly felt that his heart had lost its passion. It feels like it's going to melt.
Late at night, high in the mountains.
Wu Feng and Li Xun sat side by side, both with a little drunkenness on their faces.
"Kill people freely, their clothes are stained with blood, and they don't leave their real names, just to exchange for a good meal of wine and meat. Wu Feng exhaled, and the smell of wine sprayed Li Xun's face: "Little bamboo, is this feeling completely different from your original life?"
The wine is strong. But rough. The meat is well roasted, but also slightly fishy.
But Li Xun also enjoyed it very sweetly.
After listening to Wu Feng's words, Li Xun began to think back on his past thirteen years.
Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides, mountains on one side, and the tall city walls are like a heavy cage.
In the general understanding, Xiangyang people are known for their loyalty and bravery, but Li Xun only sneered at this.
His grandfather was shot into a sieve by his most trusted subordinates. When his father was as old as him, he was expelled from the city by his ministers and distant relatives. Thinking of the wise leadership without his grandfather, the Xiangyang soldiers were beaten by the weak soldiers of Sanchuan under Su Mengzhen, and they couldn't raise their heads. The bravery of this group of people may be reflected in the following aspects.
Wu Feng stared at Li Xun's slightly melancholy eyes.
The reason why he decided not to kill him was precisely because he remembered that when he lost to him in the battle three years ago, the eyes were equally clear and without the slightest resentment.
The eye is not easy to lie, at least not all the time.
"Hmm. Li Xun replied softly.
He killed so many people in the Five Peaks of the Sea of Grass. But except for Luo Tingyu, the others basically did not show hostility towards him.
Even Luo Tingyu, who gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw Li Xun, has diluted a lot of hatred in his heart since he got along with the little girl named Ah Song.
It is the nature of the grassland people to admire the strong. This is a small world. It can really make people forget hatred and treachery.
"In this world where the rivers and lakes and the court are completely confused and difficult to distinguish, only here can you find the most authentic rivers and lakes. Wu Feng suddenly lifted the placket of his clothes, so that the heat after drinking could quickly dissipate with the night breeze: "At first, I wanted to use this to increase Wufeng's prestige, but now I really like this feeling." ”
During this period, Wu Feng went all out to fight the horse thieves and bandits on the grassland, or attack the tribes that abused the people, killed the big and small leaders, took most of the goods, and distributed the remnants to the herdsmen, so as to gain people's hearts.
He also often went incognito, went deep into the grassland, rode a lonely sword, fought thousands of miles, and stained his clothes with blood, so as to test his cultivation results.
Li Xun nodded: "The feeling of being appreciated and admired is indeed ......" He considered his words: "It's very comfortable, and it makes people feel light." ”
Good and evil are human nature, and any one of them can give people cathartic pleasure.
"That's why I'm bringing you along. Wu Feng said.
He stood up suddenly, and with the help of wine, he kicked the stones on the high slope into the valley, splashing all the way to the roar.
"Life is a mountain road with almost no end in sight, and we are like rocks rolling down a high slope, going through many bumps, and finally being worn off by sharp edges and corners. If possible, I would like to be frivolous for the rest of my life, and if I can't, I don't want to suddenly realize that I have never been sharp when I am old!" Wu Feng stared into Li Xun's eyes and asked, "Little bamboo, what about you?"
He poured the unfinished half sac of liquor into his mouth and said, "I haven't dried up my sword head blood yet, it's time to be cool." If you don't make me happy, you will always have this sad face, be careful that Lao Tzu will kick you off the cliff like a turtle!"
Li Xun was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, his face flushed with a little red. He also followed Wu Feng's example, poured a sip of wine, and kicked a large stone into the valley, making a thunderous sound.
Wu Feng patted him on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other and laughed. The depression that has been buried for a long time is emanating from this long smile.
Wu Feng said: "I think of a woman. ”
He said something suddenly, but Li Xun just listened quietly.
"That girl once told me that begging for a living on the grassland is a different kind of refreshing. I didn't believe it then, but I believe it now. ”
"I don't agree with a lot of her views. But you'd better get to know her. She'll make you live a little faster. ”
Li Xun scratched his head: "Your sweetheart?"
"If you like it, it's yours. Wu Feng smiled weirdly: "That's a rare stunner." ”
"Then I don't. Li Xun said dryly.
"You're finally starting to live for yourself. Wu Feng applauded: "Congratulations!" (to be continued......)
